In Orlando, city officials have lowered lakes ahead of Milton’s potential arrival, aiming to create capacity to handle any rainfall – and prevent the mass floods brought by Hurricane Ian two years ago. “They’ve been lowered to the lowest we can,” said Lucy Phillip, a city engineer.

Hurricane Milton prompts the National Weather Service to issue multiple warnings for East Central Florida, with major hurricane conditions expected.

Extra fees may not apply "if hurricane warning is issued by National Hurricane Center for Orlando area — or your place of residence — within 7 days."
